A methylation-driven genes prognostic signature and the immune microenvironment in epithelial ovarian cancer

Abstract

Abstract Aberrant gene methylation has been implicated in the development and progression of tumors. In this study, we aimed to identity methylation-driven genes involved in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) to establish a prognostic signature for patients with EOC. We identified and verified 6 MDGs that are closely related to the prognosis of ovarian cancer. A prognostic risk score model and nomogram for predicting the prognosis of ovarian cancer were constructed based on the six MDGs. It can also effectively reflect the immune environment and immunotherapy response of ovarian cancer. These MDGs have great significance to the implementation of individualized treatment and disease monitoring of ovarian cancer patients.
